Wishing you health and happiness this Holiday Season andprosperity in the New Year.

From the StartUp Tech Valley team

It was great to see many of you at the BOSS518 event...

a jam-packed day of 79 mini-talks from the leaders of the community. It really was awesome. Congrats to James, April, and the folks at Buzz Media for pulling it off!

You may be asking yourself, how does BOSS518 differ from StartUp Tech Valley?

BOSS is an ongoing program of events and activities organized to bring the community together through educational outreach programs that engage mentors and service providers. The specific mission of BOSS is to cultivate the innovation ecosystem of people and resources that support entrepreneurs throughout TechValley.

At StartUp Tech Valley, we began the after hours meet-up experiment with first a look outside the ecosystem (Oct meet-up) and followed up with some of the wonderful success stories that have helped to shape the region (Nov meet-up).

WE NOW WANT TO BRING THE FOCUS BACK TO THE ENTREPENEURS.

We want to hear what they are doing and see if there might be something we can do to give them a hand up. We are still finalizing the list of companies so if you are interested in presenting please sign up here.

Going forward, Startup Tech Valley will be about the entrepreneurs and-as I'm often reminded that I forget to mention-FREE BEER. The next event is January 28th and you can learn more and register here.

We are excited to announce that Hoffman Warnick has stepped up as a BEER SPONSORfor the next event and that Transfinder and NYBizLab have joined as a joint ANCHOR SPONSOR.

If you missed the fall meetings or would like a recap.....

Videos of the October and November meetings are now available to view online.
